Review

Why are they so rude? And I mean specifically upper to middle middle class men and women over 50. You have any situation, like shops, market stalls, buses, cafes: and they seem to feel they every right to look at you like you're dangerous shit and push past you, barge in front of you if you're waiting, and generally act as they have a god-given right to be served first and fast. They also patronize and disdain the shop assistants they are sold things by. It is as though their accumulated capital makes them feel they have a special priveleged role in society (surely not?). Their pensioner friends of the lower orders seem peculiarly left out of the gerontocarcy.
